Raja Ravi Varma
- Author Name:
Ranjit Desai
- Book Type:
- Description: यह एक ऐसे बालक की कहानी है, जो लकड़ी के कोयले से ताजा पुताई वाली दीवारों पर चित्र बनाते हुए बड़ा हुआ और जिसने आगे चलकर अपने कलात्मक कौशल के दम पर ‘राजा’ की पदवी प्राप्त की। अपनी पत्नी के घर में काम करनेवाली एक नायर महिला का चित्र बनाने पर उन्हें जितने क्रोध का सामना करना पड़ा, उतना ही सम्मान भी मिला। अनेक आलोचकों और प्रशंसकों का ध्यान महाराष्ट्र की महिला सुगंधा के साथ उनके गहरे संबंध की ओर आकृष्ट हुआ, जो उनके सर्वाधिक प्रसिद्ध चित्रों की मेनका, दमयंती और उर्वशी बनी। रवि वर्मा भारत के सबसे प्रसिद्ध चित्रकार थे। वे जितने विवादित थे, उतने ही प्रतिभावान। उन्होंने हिंदू देवी-देवताओं को मंदिर से बाहर लाकर सामान्य लोगों के घरों तक पहुँचाया और अपने ब्रश के स्पर्श से इतिहास की अनेक हस्तियों एवं पलों को अमर कर दिया। यूरोपीय कला से पूरी तरह प्रभावित वर्मा को अनेक अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्पर्धाओं में यश मिला और देश की कई रियासतों ने उन्हें सम्मानित किया। ऐसा कहा जाता है कि स्वामी विवेकानंद ने उनसे अपना छायाचित्र बनवाया था। सांस्कृतिक इतिहास से समृद्ध और ब्रिटिश राज की पृष्ठभूमि में लिखा गया प्रसिद्ध मराठी लेखक राजा रवि वर्मा के जीवन पर केंद्रित रणजीत देसाई का यह उपन्यास हमें भारत के पहले और महान् कलेंडर आर्टिस्ट के जीवन से जुड़ी कई नई बातों को जानने और उनके मन को समझने का अवसर देता है।

My Take
- Author Name:
L.K. Advani
- Book Type:
- Description: L.K. Advani's blogs cut across generations: they have a recall value for his contemporaries. Advani's blogs provide a rare insight into history for the young Indian, restless to do his bit in shaping the future of his country. They take him through the turmoil and toil of leaders like Sardar Patel and their distinctive contribution to shaping today's India. Advani's blogs have a dual purpose: they mirror an era gone by and yet link its relevance to an India, raring to take on the world. The blogs, therefore, successfully merge two periods: one to which Advani himself belongs with another which sees him as a mentor. That Advani has been a consequential politician is a given. As a protagonist in the political playfield spanning decades, he, along with Atal Behari Vajpayee, not only formed the Bharatiya Janata Party but transformed it dramatically. If the BJP is nationally in the reckoning today, it is because of the Atal-Advani vision of bringing it centre-stage from the margins. It is through this journey that he redefined secularism. During his historic yatras, including the Ramjanambhoomi and Somnath to Ayodhya, the country was compelled to redefine secularism and distinguish it from the pseudo-secularism handed down by adversaries. But that is only one part. The other and more significant is Advani's contribution to setting and elevating standards in public life and hammering that they are followed. That he has led from the front is well known. The strength of Advani's blogs, like his persona, is that they are direct, candid and forthright. There are no soft-pedalling issues or minimising the blow, as it were. He has stated facts as they are and did not attempt to underplay or exaggerate any sequence. His writings are as clear as his mind. The blogs offer a wide range: history, politics, books and all else. To those who have a stake in India's political future, Advani's blogs are a practical guide; for others an exciting read.

Multiple City Writings on Bangalore
- Author Name:
Aditi De
- Book Type:
- Description: Founded by the chieftain Kempe Gowda around 1537, the story of Bangalore has no grand linear narrative. The location has revealed different facets to settlers and passers-through. The city, the site of bloody battles between the British and Tipu Sultan, was once attached to the glittering court of Mysore. Later, it became a cantonment town where British troops were stationed. Over time, it morphed into a city of gardens and lakes, and the capital of Indian scientific research. More recently, it has been the hub of India’s information technology boom, giving rise to Brand Bangalore, an Indian city whose name is recognized globally. Hidden beneath these layers lies a cosmopolitan city of sub-cultures, engaging artists and writers, young geeks and students. People from every corner of India and beyond now call it home. In this collection of writings about a multi-layered city, there are stories from its history, translations from Kannada literature, personal responses to the city’s mindscape, portraits of special citizens, accounts of searches for lost communities and traditions, among much more. U.R. Ananthamurthy writes about Bangalore’s Kannada identity; Shashi Deshpande maps the city through the places she has lived in since she was a young girl; Anita Nair draws a touching portrait of a florist who celebrates the glories of the Raj; Ramachandra Guha describes his close bond with Bangalore’s most unusual bookseller; and Rajmohan Gandhi recounts the Mahatma’s trysts with the city. From traditional folk ballads to a nursery rhyme about Bangalore, from poems to blogs, from reproductions of turn of the twentieth century picture postcards to cartoons, Multiple City is the portrait of a metropolis trying to retain its roots as it hurtles into the future.

Indian Perspective
- Author Name:
Ed. Anil Joshi and Rajendra Arya
- Book Type:
- Description: When our army was winning, what was the need for a ceasefire? What was the need to halt the attack? Had it not been done at that time, the whole of Kashmir would have been an integral part of India today. Pakistan-occupied Kashmir would not have come into existence. Regrettably, it was never brought into the discussion as to why an untimely ceasefire was declared? What was the compulsion? In no history has it been written that the war-winning army declares a ceasefire at a time when a large part of its territory is occupied by foreign forces! Then the United Nations was approached on 1st January, 1948. This decision was also a personal decision of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. It was a big mistake; the country bore the brunt of it for years. —Amit Shah Union Home Minister We saw that the Leftist, elite society, the power system, the media had already established their narrative over the last several decades. These widely propagated narratives were the so-called truth. It was about our society, nationality, Ramjanmabhoomi, the inalienability and inevitability of Article 370 in Kashmir, social harmony, the role model of the country, the Western model of development, the imperative of English, etc. These were in relation to the beliefs and faith in so-called values which developed an inferiority complex about our history and past at the cost of our history and glorious knowledge tradition. —Anil Joshi Vice Chairman, Kendriya Hindi Shikshan Manda
Ek Kishori Ki Diary (Hindi Translation of The Diary of A Young Girl)
- Author Name:
Anne Frank
- Book Type:
- Description: ऐनी फ्रैंक ने जिस अटारी में अपने जीवन के अंतिम वर्ष बिताए, वहाँ से मिली उनकी चर्चित डायरी एक विश्वप्रसिद्ध रचना बन गई। यह युद्ध की भयावहता की प्रभावशाली ढंग से याद दिलाती है और इनसानी उत्साह और जिजीविषा का स्पष्ट प्रमाण देती है। 1942 में जब नाजियों ने हॉलैंड पर कब्जा कर लिया, तब तेरह साल की एक यहूदी लडक़ी और उसका परिवार एम्सटर्डम में अपने घर से भागकर कहीं छिप गया। अगले दो वर्षों तक, जब तक धोखे से उनके ठिकाने के बारे में खुफिया नाजी पुलिस को जानकारी नहीं हो गई, तब तक एक अन्य परिवार के साथ वे एक पुराने कार्यालय भवन के गुप्त हिस्से में रहते थे। बाहरी दुनिया से कटे हुए, उन्होंने भूख, ऊब, तंग जगह में रहने की क्रूरता और ढूँढ़ निकाले जाने के साथ ही मौत के हमेशा मँडराते खतरे का सामना किया था। ऐनी फ्रैंक ने अपनी डायरी में इस अवधि के दौरान अपने अनुभवों को जीवंत रूप में दर्ज किया है। विचारशील, भावपूर्ण और रोचक रूप मेें उनका वर्णन मानवी साहस और कमजोरियों पर विचारवान टिप्पणी है, जो एक संवेदनशील एवं उत्साही युवा महिला के सम्मोहक आत्म-चित्रण को प्रस्तुत करती है, जिससे किया गया वादा दुखद रूप से बहुत जल्दी तोड़ दिया गया।
